[Firebird-devel] Re Planning the post v3 development
Hi Dmitry, responding to your request, there is one thing Im really missing. What do you think about a SNMP function. Currently it is very hard for us to monitor Firebird performance over the time. It would be great to collect information about the server status via Nagios or Zenoss. So we can see when are the peaks in our customers memory. When are the most people active. Maybe there is a way to track the database growth. If we are able to poll the data from firebird server, Nagios or Zenoss can create some informational graphs. >From my point of view this would be a great and helpful feature. What do you think?

But except ticket adjustments I need some use cases cause I do no see where such a feature can be useful. -- "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.

There's a 64-bit txn id implementation available (although not publicly yet), but alternative solutions also look possible.

[Firebird-devel] Re Planning the post v3 development
Hello, as Dimitry suggested, I want to propose, based on my experience, what is required by new customers I'm trying to work with and existing customers. Most of them are registered in tracker. Allways my customers require me features that oracle and sql server has, and I have lost new clients because they do not want firebird and I have not been able to convince them. I think the next two features are very important for Firebird future direction. May be, we have to move from Firebird to another RDMS, because for now is a stopper for every new customer and for existing ones. Some years ago, it was not so important, but now we are having problems with it. 1. Built-in replication. Our customers want to have databases replicated and been able to move connections to another center in case of server/center hardware crash. I know there is replications applications in firebird, but them are not what is needed. (CORE-2021) 2. Clustering. Allow access from two or more servers to a database. (CORE-2719) Now other features I would like to have: 1. Transaction ID datatype. In v3, Transaction ID has changed to unsigned, but may be better a greater data type, like 40 bits value. Everyday databases grows, require more transactions and more users. Current transactionID is limit for the near future. 2. Support for SQL Schemas. CORE-738 3.
